Chapter 131 He would dream of her when he closed his eyes

The Heart Mirror is temporarily unavailable.

In order to let the mirror recognize people on its own, Xie Yanyu did not plan to do the same as Helan Wei and recruit hundreds of people to try one by one.

To put it bluntly.

Helan Wei is the so-called male protagonist, and even he has to rely on luck. It took him ten days or half a month to find a suitable candidate.

Her luck will only get worse. She doesn't know how long it will last if this continues.

So she thought about it, trying to see if she could find another way.

Besides this, there is another matter at hand.

It was about her engagement with Li Xun.

Now that they have arrived at the Tianjian Sect, Li Xun has begun to prepare for the engagement ceremony.

He hadn't even received the horoscope yet, nor had he signed the heart contract, but he had already chosen a nearby auspicious day for the ceremony. The date was very close, just a few days away, so he began to hasten preparations for everything.

Invitations and banquets.

Furnishings and robes.

Many things can be delegated to subordinates, but there are also many things that need to be done personally.

Especially the clothes to be worn on the day of the ceremony.

Li Xun is extremely picky about this.

He had a lot of money and never worried about spending it. He prepared at least dozens of sets of clothes from head to toe, including crowns, robes, and shoes.

No matter how expensive or ostentatious they are, they are all tailored and sent to him for him to choose from one set at a time.

Xie Yanyu was dragged by him to choose.

She wasn't very picky about this and basically just sat there and watched him try the clothes on her one by one.

She remembered that when she was younger, she would envy the wealthy people in the town when walking on the roadside. She envied them, even jealously, regardless of whether they were men or women, because they had clean and soft clothes to change. She didn't want much at that time, she also wanted to have clean clothes to change every day. If she had a lot of clothes and could change two sets a day, how happy would she be?

But changing more than ten sets a day would definitely make you feel tired.

She changed three or four sets of clothes, including the crown, shoes and socks, and felt very tired.

So she wore the newly changed wedding attire, and when Li Xun asked her to take it off and change, she simply sat down: "...Why don't you try it on first, and then you choose which one you want to wear, and I'll make the final choice."

As soon as the words fell.

Li Xun raised his eyes.

He glanced at her with a half-smile, not knowing if it was because his clothes were too red, a very ostentatious bright red, which made the corners of his eyes look a little red. His facial features were clearly very sharp and deep, which could easily make people feel that he was rebellious at first glance, but at this moment, he looked inexplicably delicate and gorgeous.

In fact, with a face like this, he looks pretty good in any outfit.

Anyway, when others see him, they won’t look at his clothes at first glance, their attention will definitely be on his face.

But he insisted on picking the best one, even though Xie Yanyu thought every one of these clothes looked good. She sat on the chair, ignored him when he glanced at her, and then saw him frowning and picking up the collar of her clothes with his fingers.

Then the outer robe on his body opened directly, revealing the inner garment.

Because I was constantly trying on clothes, the middle of my shirt was a little loose, revealing some of my collarbone.

Um……

Xie Yanyu looked away slightly.

But the next second, a hand reached out from the front.

The hand lifted her chin and lifted her eyelids, forcing her to look at him: "Why are you looking away? Look at me. It was you who insisted on getting engaged to me before, and now that we're engaged, you're ignoring me like this? You don't even look at me."

Xie Yanyu: "..."

Xie Yanyu's eyelids were pulled: "What are you doing? It's so annoying."

Li Xun said grimly: "I want you to look at me."

He paused, then pinched her face again: "Look at me, see which one looks good on me."

This hand is really cheap.

Xie Yanyu snapped his hand open: "Then try it quickly."

She slapped him on the back of his hand, leaving a red mark without holding back.

But at least her gaze returned to him.

Li Xun then picked up another outer robe and put it on slowly.

Xie Yanyu said: "This one——"

She wanted to say that this one was great and asked him to stop trying on any more and just order this one.

But before he could finish his words, he felt a fluctuation of spiritual power in the communication talisman.

So she stopped talking, took out the communication talisman again, and lowered her eyes to read the message.

Then she saw that it was Xie Chengjin who sent her a message: [Come and get the horoscope disc.]

She had sent him a message before, asking him to send the life disc to Tianjian Sect, but he did not reply.

But he came straight over.

Xie Yanyu raised the corner of his eyes, then moved his fingers slightly to reply to his message.

I had only finished saying half of what I had said to Li Xun before.

Li Xun was facing away from her at this moment, tying his clothes in front of a bronze mirror that was as tall as a person. When he heard her say half a sentence, he paused. But after waiting for a while, he saw that she didn't continue, so he turned back.

He saw that she had her eyes downcast and was no longer looking at him.

She took the communication talisman and replied to Xie Chengjin: [Okay, I'll come get it right away. Where is my brother?]

She knew that Xie Chengjin sending her this message meant that he was already in the Tianjian Sect.

But she didn't know where he was.

He should have just arrived. The Tianjian Sect was similar to the Shangqing Immortal Palace in terms of hospitality. Both had places specially reserved for guests to stay. All he had to do was go to the Tianjian Sect's affairs hall and let the disciples inside lead the way.

But just sent the message,

Then I heard a sinister voice from above: "Where is he? Why are you asking him such a question? The Tianjian Sect is my place, why are you asking me? I'm not dead, I'm standing next to you."

Look up.

I saw Li Xun coming over at some point.

He was clearly trying on clothes, and he was wearing the standard outfit for the engagement ceremony. It was so ostentatious that it should have jingled when he moved, but who knew that when he came closer, he was so quiet, without a sound at all, even his breath was hidden.

Xie Yanyu: "..."

Xie Yanyu could see that he didn't look very happy.

But she wasn't afraid of him, so even though she knew he was being sarcastic, she still asked, "Oh. Where is he then?"

As soon as these words fell.

Li Xun was so angry that he laughed.

He pulled the communication talisman out of her hand: "We are preparing for the engagement ceremony now, why do you care where he is!"

Xie Yanyu said slowly, "But to get engaged, you need to sign a heart contract, and to sign a heart contract, you need the horoscope."

Li Xun sneered.

He threw the summons talisman back to her: "Do you want to go in person?"

*

Xie Chengjin sent his location to Xie Yanyu.

There was no reply from the other side.

But think about it——

She is so anxious to get engaged.

Since he mentioned wanting the life disc, he should be on his way to find him.

This thought passed through my mind silently.

Xie Chengjin's eyelashes moved slightly, his face expressionless, and the fingers holding her life disc turned a little pale.

Carve the person's name on the jade, drip blood and sweat into the jade, and then place the jade in the ancestral hall.

This jade is the destiny disc.

This is a square piece of green spiritual jade, and its temperature is cold.

Xie Chengjin pinched it and ran his fingertips over her name on it.

I don’t know what happened, but my face suddenly became paler. I closed my eyes and some fragmented images flashed before my eyes.

In the picture.

He also took her life disc and handed it to Li Xun.

But soon, the picture jumped and he saw some other pictures, as if Xie Yanyu had been broken off from engagement.

Xie Chengjin suddenly opened his eyes again.

The veins on his forehead were throbbing and he had a headache. These past few days, he had been holding her life disc and always saw these images whenever he closed his eyes.

It's hard to say what the psychology is.

Maybe it's because I believe in the authenticity of these images, or maybe it's something else.

He pinched her life disc, and after a while, he suddenly took out a pen and paper.

The paper is the same kind used for writing marriage proposals. It is stiffer than ordinary rice paper, but softer than bamboo slips.

But the paper he took out was not red, but white.

Nowadays, noble families only use this kind of paper for weddings. They use red paper with gold ink to propose marriages, and white paper with black ink to cancel engagements.

He placed a pen and paper in front of him.

When she came over, he might ask her again if she was still willing to marry Li Xun if he wasn't a good person and the engagement might be broken off. Those frequent dreams were enough for him to understand her. She knew how to seek benefits and avoid harm. If he told her the outcome would be bad, she probably wouldn't force herself to move forward.

He thought expressionlessly.

But he calculated the time and glanced at the door from time to time.

After half a cup of tea.

He heard footsteps.

I opened the door, but saw the person coming in was——

Li Xun.

*

As soon as Li Xun entered the room, he saw the paper on the table.

Paper specifically used for writing a letter of withdrawal or regret of an engagement.

There is nothing written on the paper yet.

It looked like he was waiting here specifically for her to persuade her to break off the engagement.

hiss.

This trip wasn’t in vain.

Li Xun paused slightly, sneered and called him, "Brother-in-law."

He looked away as if nothing had happened, as if he hadn't seen the paper and pen on the table, and said with a slow smile: "I'll get her life disc."

Xie Chengjin's expression remained calm: "Where is she?"

Li Xun smiled: "She's busy."

As he spoke, he tilted his head and pointed at the auspicious clothes he was wearing.

Although he usually wears red clothes and is very ostentatious.

But the red of the auspicious dress he was wearing seemed even more glaring.

Xie Chengjin's eyes fell on it, and he heard Li Xun say slowly: "Brother-in-law hasn't been engaged yet, so I guess she doesn't know. She's very busy before the engagement ceremony. She was trying on wedding clothes, so she asked me to come over. Tsk, don't blame her for not coming. Engagement is a lifelong event, so choosing the right wedding clothes is probably more important."

She was indirectly saying that he was not as important as a wedding dress in her heart.

Xie Chengjin's eyes turned slightly cold.

He did not respond, but only said: "Let her come and get the life disc herself."

Li Xun said impatiently: "Just give it to me directly."

The words fell.

But he heard Xie Chengjin laugh very faintly: "For you?"

Li Xun found the tone a bit strange, and then he heard the sullen man say coldly, "Only close relatives can touch her fate disc. I am her brother."

Xie Chengjin paused for a moment.

Then he looked at the wedding attire on him for a long while before saying, "You and her haven't even completed the ceremony yet, how can I give it to you?"

He was looking at Li Xun with an almost scrutinizing gaze.

Even as her brother, at this moment, he was closer to her than a fiancé, so he had every reason to hold onto her life disc. As he finished speaking, he saw Li Xun's face visibly darken.

Xie Chengjin curled his lips and was about to send the guest away.

But the next second,

But he saw Li Xun take out a communication talisman and send a video message to Xie Yanyu.

As soon as she answered the phone.

Li Xun said, "If your brother won't give me the life disc, you should talk to him and ask him to give it to me."

As he spoke, he threw the communication talisman towards him.

Xie Chengjin caught it and was caught off guard when he saw the situation on her side.

She was wearing a wedding dress, not much different from the one Li Xun was wearing, a dazzling red. She said to him, "Brother, give him the divination disc."

Xie Chengjin moved his lips.

But before he could say anything, the other side seemed to guess what he wanted to say.

Through the communication talisman, her pair of distinct black and white eyes looked at her, with a faint smile on her face, and her voice was low: "Or, what reason will you use to refuse this time, brother?"

The last time, I used a very unlucky lot and refused to give her the fortune disc.

Last time, it was said that the destiny disc was at the Xie family and was not brought to the Shangqing Immortal Palace.

this time--

Xie Chengjin thought that his engagement with Li Xun might be broken off.

But her eyes were dark and her pupils were tiny, like needles piercing one's heart. He felt as if he was pricked, and some unspeakable pain point was hit, so that the words were stuck in his throat, as if trying to cover up the truth. He did not say anything else, as if if he tried to persuade her again, it would mean that he had something to hide and he deliberately did not want her to get married.

And a voice in his heart told him:

She didn't even care about the result of the draw. In order to get engaged, she could change a lot to test him, not to mention some unfounded scenes he saw?

She just wanted to get engaged to Li Xun. She would weigh the pros and cons, but she was also very stubborn and would do whatever it took to achieve her goal.

Xie Chengjin's vision became even more distorted.

Then I heard Li Xun laugh.

The other party used spiritual power to retrieve the communication talisman through the air, and took it away along with her life disc.

Then he took out an invitation from somewhere and placed it on the table:

"Oh, right. In exchange, I'll give my eldest brother-in-law an invitation with the date of the engagement ceremony. At the ceremony, I'll sign a covenant with her. As her older brother, my eldest brother-in-law should be in attendance.

"She was an orphan before, without any family, and it wasn't easy for her to be alone. Now that she has a brother, you must come—"

"Come and see her sign the contract with me with your own eyes."

*

Xie Chengjin smashed things all over the table.

It was rare for him to express his emotions so openly. After smashing the floor, he looked at the mess and found it funny.

She was determined to get engaged, so why should he interfere?

If you really suffer in the future, it will be because you have reaped what you sowed.

He doesn't like to interfere in other people's affairs or meddle in other people's causes and effects.

For the next few days, he chose to stay in the Tianjian Sect, insisting on attending her engagement ceremony. Since he had acknowledged her brother's status, there was no reason for him not to attend. But as if deliberately holding his breath, or perhaps deliberately avoiding her, he didn't speak to Xie Yanyu again. Although they were both in the Tianjian Sect, they had never met, and the communication talisman hadn't transmitted a single word of news.

He would dream of her when he closed his eyes.

It lasted a long time.

But these past few days, he lit incense at night, specifically to dispel his dreams.

For several nights, I didn't even have a dream, as if this made everything really clean and clear, with a clear line between me and her. I wouldn't dream about her anymore, and I wouldn't care about her cause and effect anymore.

Until the night before the engagement ceremony.

Incense was still burning in the room.

Xie Chengjin closed his eyes, but dreamed of her again——

This is a very long and heavy dream.

Those fragmented and disjointed fragments that always appeared in my dreams in the past finally became coherent, like forgotten memories buried deep in the soul breaking out of the ground, as if flesh and blood were filling between the bones and connecting the dots into lines.

All the pieces are strung together.

He saw the complete memory.
